watering
Veronica 'Goodness Grows' (Speedwell) should be watered regularly to keep the soil lightly moist. During the warm summer months, water once or twice a week, providing the soil with enough water to keep it evenly moist but not soggy. When temperatures cool during the fall and winter, water less frequently, only when the top few inches of soil is completely dry. During extended periods of drought, give the plant extra water, soaking the soil to a depth of 6-12 inches (15-30 cm).
sunlight
Speedwell (Veronica 'Goodness Grows') is a sun-loving plant species that requires at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive. Although this plant can tolerate some light shade, it will not flower as heavily or stay as lush if it doesn't get enough sun. To help ensure the best possible performance, it is best to plant in a sunny spot with exposure to morning and mid-day sun. When temperatures are especially hot, it can benefit from some afternoon shade.
pruning
Veronica 'Goodness Grows' (Speedwell) should be pruned in early spring, as soon as the risk of frost has passed and the plant begins to show new growth. Generally, pruning should be minimal and only light deadheading and tidying of the plant is necessary. Since the plant has a delicate growth habit, avoid hard pruning, which may result in damaged shoots. Limit pruning to dead, diseased and broken stems.
